Balance the Scales is a promise that every woman and girl – regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape her own future. Yet in 2026, millions of women and girls across Australia and the world are still denied that fair go.

Discriminatory laws, harmful practices, and gender-based violence remains widespread, while structural barriers continue to block access to justice. These barriers are not inevitable. They are built – and they can be dismantled.

When women and girls stand equal, families are stronger, workplaces are fairer, communities thrive, and society becomes safer for everyone.

Equality is not about advantage for some; it’s about dignity, safety, and fairness for all. This International Women’s Day, let’s Balance the Scales together.

We have assembled an incredible group of local women who will share not only some of their own journeys, but also their hopes for the future and the steps they are taking to Balance the Scales that will help our community thrive into the future.

Don't miss this informative and fun gathering and take the opportunity to expand your network, catch up with friends.
